  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Blythewood Community Event

    Scout held a nice community event in Blythewood three days this week. I attended the Saturday event, today. There was a 20-ish minute presentation, followed by casual question and answer mingling afterwards. Both the Terra and Traveler prototypes were on display. What follows is an attempt to...

    Hopefully Scout will learn from the mistakes of Cariad

    This is a painfully bad lapse in security. Hopefully Scout will build sufficient checks in their processes to guard against such a thing happening. A security first mindset is paramount given the wealth of sensitive data in play...

    The Terra does college football

    Hopefully there will be many additional tour stops across the county! Nice to visit The University of South Carolina, just a short drive south of the production site. Behind the rope, and then on the jumbotron.

    A fleet of Scouts used to deliver a special brick

    A fun Motortrend article about delivering a brick (or two) from Fort Wayne to Blythewood...in a vintage Scout, of course. Nice photos. https://www.motortrend.com/features/700-mile-road-trip-in-the-classic-international-harvester-scout-feature/

    How long until we start learning juicy technology details?

    MOSFET or IGBT? SiC or GaN? Permanent magnet or induction? Battery chemistry (or chemistries, if different pack options will exist)? Low voltage architecture still at 12V, or 48V? Should be fun speculating, in the meantime.

    Are factory deliveries for reservation holders being considered?

    I'm curious whether factory deliveries, particularly for early reservation holders, are being considered by Scout. That would be similar to what some folks have been able to do with Rivian, picking up their R1 in Normal and then driving it home. In my case the round-trip of 14 miles to collect...
